I needed a good day… not that I deserved one, but I needed one all the same… maybe I deserved one… I’m not quite sure how that works…
The morning ride was good for the first 17kms and then my front tire went half flat again… it was kind of holding air but also kind of not… I googled and luckily I was about 4kms away from a bike shop… I pumped the tire up as much as possible and counted down the metres and seconds to the shop… made it! This little shop was a real rollercoaster… at the entrance the guy saw me and started waving and talking in Spanish telling me his objections that I couldn’t understand… I protested and said I just need a new tire, pointed to them on the wall… silence, he looked at me and then went over to the wall, and then let me in the shop, and then warmed up a little more, and then set me up at the back of the shop to change out my flat and I even got a coffee hahaha! What a rollercoaster… also he showed me how to put my fat tires back on and literally did it in under 5 seconds… what takes me half an hour to do!!!! My mind was blown!
